Describe your school's strengths and needs based on a school improvement document, such as the school's SALT visit report, its SALT survey data, or its school improvement plan.
Upon reviewing the Salt Survey data for Slater Middle School I discovered the following information. Slater Middle School Is characterized as having a strong leadership team and a well written school improvement plan which has not yet been fully implemented. There is good communication between the leadership team and the community as well as with the teachers. There is a sense of pride for all involved which is indicative of the weel developed sense of caring by a majority of the teachers who go (the extra mile).
The school has cored well above average in mathematical skills, average in reading and writing skills and below average in mathematical problem solving.
Improvement by teachers in using differentiated teaching was noted as an area in need of improvemnt. The school was lacking in the teaching of reading strategies. It seemed that these strategies were only taught in the English/language arts classes only.
Overall the school is considered as in need of improvement/making progress. The school is on track in attaining excellence.
I have seen few activities utilized by my CT that centers on how the students should be reading as science readers. He did spend a little time teaching them some outlining skills to aid in comprehension. The only time I heard the term differentiated instruction was in a team meeting of teachers where there was some discussion on the need for the teachers to work on differentiated instruction coming from the leadership team.
